Dallas Mavericks Thread

Well take a win.
Now three games out and climbing.
Mixed feeling right now though.

But Ive heard twice now that we have the best non US player since Dirk coming next year. Lol I even have mixed feelings on that too.

Who is it?

Who is it?

I know. I can't see how there can really be secrets about stuff like this with in today's world.
They call him the "LeBron of Europe". Donnie's words, second hand, not mine.
I don't buy it until I see it. Not the Lebron thing...because i know that can't be true...but any of it.
They don't make this stuff up, so I'm sure there is an actual player. I just doubt he's the best since Dirk. Still, I am curious who this guy is so we can look him up.

Unless we somehow already hold the rights to someone, I don't see how we have an advantage.

The Mavs are finding their footing and slowly working Dirk back into the mix.

Will be interesting to watch them around the trade deadline as Cuban promises they'll be active.

Collison and Mayo maturing this year into real NBA player is very important.

 

[juck]

I think Kaman ,Brandon Wright,Dojo, and probably more gonna get traded. Kaman definitely. Good O horrid defense. We play so much better with Elton at the 5 next to Dirk.At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Cubes pulled off Dwight in the offseason. Its not working for him in LA.

Collison
Mayo/
Rudy Gay
Dirk
Dwight

Way too early to be saying that. Dirk will be more than fine. Of course he wont be as dominant as the title run because the pieces around him fit perfectly that season. It allowed him to play the most efficient basketball of his life.

The man has played two games. TWO GAMES.

At least wait a month before you say he's done.

I never said he is done, he just isn't at his prime anymore. he is still one of the best players in the league when healthy, but he won't dominate like he used to anymore

every year since last year?

 

[RastaRocket]

Dirk is fine.

 

[jterrell]

every year since last year?

It started before he won a title.

He was supposedly in decline then. Until he mutilated all those defenses in the playoffs.

He isn't relying on raw athleticism to be great. Just skill, size, conditioning. There's very little to believe he can't be effective at an elevated age.

He lacked quickness and speed when he entered the league at 19.

I dont know who was saying that then, I never heard anything about him declining. The criticism I heard of dirk was all about his mental toughness, not his skills declining. You guys won't agree with me and will acuse me of beig a hater, but it's just a fact of life, he isn't as good as he was in his prime anymore and won't be at that level ever again. You are dreaming if u think 2011 dirk will return for more than a chameo every once in a while

 

[TheCowboy]

Wow I haven't seen this thread in weeks lol I was wondering why nobody posted but on second thought I knew right away. I can't lie I am a Mavs fan but this year has been just blah. Not too much into basketball this year, mainly because the Mavs are horrible lol

 

[DFWJC]

Hang in there...it's getting better.

Plus all the non playoff team except the Mavs are stinking it up. And Houston is begging someone to take their playoff spot
It could get fun here in a week or two

 

[Cythim]

Don't worry, he's fine!

 

[DFWJC]

In the Dallas Morning News today the Mavs players said that although they all realize its way too early to pay much attention to the standings, Rick Carlisle never quits reminding them that "this is a Playoff Franchise".

The in no way want to be the team that ends the current 12 consecutive year playoff streak.


GO MAVS

Ill remember this

 

[Zordon]

worst loss of the season.

 

[MC KAos]

Go ahead, but remember the part where I said that version of dirk will make chameos, much like 2003 Duncan shows up once every 15 games or so

 

[RastaRocket]

We gotta be hovering around the record for most overtime games / most overtime losses.
